Frazer Clarke and Jeamie TKV on BBC

[Master]

Frazer Clarke says he and opponent Jeamie Tshikeva have a "responsibility" to showcase boxing to new audiences by headlining on free-to-air television in Derby on 25 October.

The British heavyweight title fight marks the start of BBC Sport's new broadcast deal with Boxxer.

Coverage will be live on BBC Two from 20:00 to 22:00 BST, with the undercard streamed on BBC iPlayer.

Speaking at a respectful news conference in London, Olympian Clarke said the fight will "bring audiences on different backgrounds".

The 34-year-old said: "This isn't the typical heavyweight contest. There will be no chairs thrown, no tables thrown, there doesn't need to be slang between us.

"This is two men, dedicated to the craft, who love the sport and are willing to compete to be the best in Britain as a heavyweight."

Tottenham's Tshikeva - known as TKV - echoed his opponent's sentiments.

"Not many people realise how big this moment is, not only for Boxxer, BBC, me and Frazer but it's big for British boxing in general," the 31-year-old said.

"Me and Frazer are going to make history."

I wonder how many people will watch this fight? It is free and on mainstream TV. I have not seen a lot of publicity done by BBC for this fight. Clarke is from Midlands so has been on the local news and how he wants to win this historic title. He looks in good condition.

It will be interesting to see the viewing figures as people's habits of watching TV is very different now.

I have the feeling if it was Ben Whittaker there would have been a bigger push from channel. Shame he has left and gone to Matchroom.

I am glad this fight has been moved.

The British heavyweight title fight between Frazer Clarke and Jeamie 'TKV' Tshikeva has been moved to 29 November after TKV suffered an injury in training.

It had originally been scheduled for 25 October at Derby's Vaillant Arena and will stay at the same venue, as well as be live on BBC Two and iPlayer.

The rearranged card will still mark the first event in a new partnership between BBC Sport and Boxxer.

"Jeamie suffered an injury in training and the medical advice was he can't compete," said Boxxer promoter Ben Shalom.

"There's an extra edge to the fight. Frazer feels he's ready to win right now and is frustrated at having to completely change his training plan.

"Jeamie will be desperate to prove he's fighting fit and capable of beating Frazer.

"They have been quite respectful of each other up to now, but it feels like that's changing as emotions are running high on both sides."

The final details of the undercard - which will still include British bantamweight Francesca Hennessy against former atomweight world champion Fabiana Bytyqi - will be confirmed in due course.

These are short videos which tell you more about Frazer Clarke. He is a good family man who had the best time of his life at the Olympics.

This one is about Jeamie TKV and shows the tough gym he works at. He is close to his dad who was a wrestler on TV.

Bobby Dalton vs. Joel Kodua was a good fight between two undefeated boxers which Kodua won on points. Yarde was in his team and was supporting him.

Jack Massey who lost against Jai Opetia last year fought an undefeated Garcia and stopped him in a tremendous action packed contest.

Main event on now which is good as it doesn't clash with the Ben Whittaker fight.
